商品簡介
So while we were all thinking that greased lightning was pretty speedy, scientists and engineers in optical fiber communications and ultrafast optoelectronics have started using, and even depending on, laser diode sources with the capability for producing optical pulses in the picosecond and subpicosecond ranges with repetition rates above one to ten GHz. For readers with a basic knowledge of semiconductor and laser physics and optical electronics, here is an introduction to the physical principles, techniques for measuring the pulses, gain and Q-switching, mode-locked types, pulse compression, nonlinear phenomena, applications in communications and instrumentation, and current trends in the field.
